[@donnagarrett5196]

Couldn't help but notice Ruger playing with the box, just like a kid, all kinds of toys, but the want the empty box to play with...lol Love the color the stair treads and platform ended up...really going to look nice in the house with the rest of the wood....great job, Andrew!

[@TKCL]

Your exactly right, 50 toys and the stick or box is the thing that gets his attention.

[@mikerichard-FOPA3]

Andrew that finish looks great see you at 5:00 in the live.

Anxious to see it all come together!!!

[@TKCL]

In progress!

[@elizabethcouts7004]

Beautiful 🥰 can’t wait to see the finished product.

[@TKCL]

Coming soon

[@chuckspencer5296]

Its amazing what you can do with some typically not seen cheap building lumber... A bit of work and glue, and you have saved yourself thousands!!! And, you got the look that you wanted!!! That poly coated pine has always been a favorite of mine.... No need to do any stain at all...

[@TKCL]

I agree, I priced all this at two different places and it was close to $5k for everything poly coated. Not including shipping 😳

[@jameshattub351]

Andrew knows his stuff

[@naturenut7695]

Wow. You did a great job. It's gonna look fantastic!

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much

[@5150cash]

Man those stairs look like a million dollars..... People pay a lot here in northern California for the cabin looking style 🫣

[@TKCL]

I'll build them, you ship them 😉

[@blindwisdom9665]

If you save your sawdust And mix it with your wood glue you can use it as a puddy also and it the same wood you just cut and or planned off

[@TKCL]

Exactly, I use mine out of my miter saw bag.

[@misty4782]

I loved the graining in the wood you chose and the COLOR it turned after spraying it!!!! Absolutely gorgeous. Andrew, you've got a gem in those stair treads. God bless.

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much, God bless!

[@larrykusler5294]

I went through exactly the same process not long ago. My wife wanted wooden countertops but the price was ridiculous had I bought manufactured wooden counters. I used the same laminating, sanding, & planing process and achieved the same beautiful result. One lesson I learned early on was to get rid of my sawhorses and replace them with trestles I found on Paul Sellers channel. They were easy to make, rock solid and support a ton of weight. They store in a smaller footprint and can easily be used as low scaffolds, Your woodwork as always is gorgeous and will make a beautiful addition to your home. Looking forward to seeing the stairs installed.

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much! I am planning on building some lightweight and strong saw horses.

[@larrykusler5294]

@@TKCL Take a look at the trestles I mentioned. You won't regret it. By the way I love the chamfered edges on the treads. I went with a round over but I really like the look of the chamfer.

[@mikemiller5139]

Outstanding work

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@robertcribb3859]

Your absolutely right about prep work before adding polyurethane the littlest blemish will pop right out. I wipe, spray with air and always use a tac cloth. It's looking fantastic so far great job as always Andrew

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@toddpacheco4748]

Beautiful work on the stairs and landing platform 😊

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much

[@ACO-Amy]

Those are going to look gorgeous in your home Andrew. I love them, awesome job! Continued prayers for Mr. Doug and family. 🙏🙏🙏

Hi Andrew, the stair treads look beautiful. I can envision what you are doing. Looking forward to the next episode. ❤️🌞🇨🇦

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much

[@jason27swg]

Thats really gonna look awesome!!!

[@TKCL]

I hope so

[@jason27swg]

@@TKCL one thing that made me cringe waa when you said yall wear socks ....you know they will be slick as all get out with socks on!!!! Please don't ask me know I know !!!!

[@TKCL]

Well we actually go barefoot, but point being is absolutely no shoes in the house. Tiffany works hard to keep it clean.

[@jason27swg]

@@TKCL understand 100 percent. We are the same way. This sounds like I'm an old man...the one and only thing I ask for during Christmas is those gripper socks that old folks wear.

[@DevaultFamilyLiving]

It don't work with satin or semi-gloss poly, but it anyone out there uses gloss poly you can wet sand and polish any flaw that may come up. After it hardens just "wet" sand it with a block and 2000 grit, and polish it up with a little compound & polish. It will give you a mirror like finish. That is going to look really nice Andrew.

[@jason27swg]

Looks like you guys are getting some rain. Hopefully no bad winds ...stay safe

[@TKCL]

Raining now and mild winds. Higher winds expected later this afternoon and tonight. Very thankful for the rain.

[@davek6630]

Nice job!

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@tommyjohnson3566]

Awesome

[@TKCL]

[@Overpar73]

Really looking forward to the final project, just as Tiffany is? Ruger is growing so fast!

[@TKCL]

He sure is, wait until this week's Ruger video. He's huge!

[@madampolo]

Andrew, you are amazing! Your home is so beautiful because of your skills.

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much

[@RobertKohut]

Looks like its going to be a very impressive staircase... 🙂

[@TKCL]

Hope so

[@JimmyHensley36]

Love the wood work . Gonna look so good again that steel frame (Black) .. nice job sir !!!

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much

[@hrlee1141]

Wow. Those turned out so beautiful. Great job Andrew. I got my shirt yesterday. Love it.

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much

[@ryanzynda5114]

Those steps will be amazing in your new home. 🤠 love the diy builds

[@TKCL]

Thank you for watching

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

No wonder you took that thick metal, it has to support these monsters (but beautiful ones)! I hereby give you a chance to make wooden countertops for my kitchen 🤣

[@TKCL]

Shipping is going to be outrageous lol

[@billwelch3421]

You can always fill those knots using sawdust from that planer and would glue.

[@TKCL]

I usually grab it out of my miter saw bag. I like the knots, gives the wood character.

[@JonBark-17]

Andrew I think it's time to invest in a Woodmizer. Expensive? Yes. But with as many wood projects you have coming up and having all that pine on your property. It would pay for itself after two or three larger projects.

[@TKCL]

I really do want one!

[@5150cash]

🧀🪤 got me

[@robertcribb3859]

I watched the live stream which I enjoyed I was thinking I do that once in a while how about a hanging digital light above the bar where you two do the chats you could make it look great

[@TKCL]

More lighting might be in the works.

[@elizabethbetsyschneider1647]

😊😊😊

[@jefffrancis6824]

👍👍

[@wendyschmitz8756]

Beautiful final products. Wondering about the wood choice. Our lumber yard said we need to use red or white oak. Your thoughts? Thank you so much.

[@TKCL]

I used pine from the big box stores. I did try to get the premium stuff with no deep holes or knots.

[@deadstick8863]

Looks great! Just wondering about the moisture content in that framing lumber and if it won’t warp over time as it dries out inside your conditioned home.

[@TKCL]

That's kiln dried lumber, supposed to be around 13 percent if I remember correctly. The glue when applied correctly is stronger than wood. Not to mention every square inch is sealed in poly. I'm not expecting much more if any drying.

[@133432]

I am doing a similar build but considering running rebar through the treads to keep them from warping over time and to add some strength for floating application- any thoughts on this?

[@TKCL]

That glue is stronger than the wood. I wouldn't over think it and zero warping should occur with that many laminated together. Just make sure your support plate underneath the treads offers adequate support.

[@OldCritters]

👍💞

[@Tripring2000]

1st??

[@5150cash]

Congratulations 🎉🎉

[@TKCL]

You got it!

[@sharonurschel6753]

Those are going to be some heavy duty stairs! I can’t wait to see the he finished stairway! You have done an awesome job as usual! See you at 5:00😊

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@chrisnash2154]

You do enough work to justify buying a track saw. The most affordable is Kreg and Ryobi. Next would be Dewalt and Makita. Festool is overkill. You also do enough work to justify buying a quality sander. 3M, Mirka and Festool are the go-to’s. Your hands and wrists will thank you for it.

[@TKCL]

I want a lot of tools, trust me.

[@ifger]

as a Canadian its alarming we continue to get told by the news "THE US STOPPED BUIYING CANADIAN SOFT LUMBER" and all you (and I when i visited 8 months ago) saw was Canadian whitewood... we live in a seriously weird world anymore. I know its a big $$$ item but I could see you buying a Wood-Mizer (or another sponsor) sawmill and taking top spot reviewing it on YT.

[@TKCL]

If a partnership presents itself I'm all over it. Just not in the budget for us right now.

[@ifger]

@@TKCL Pool/guest house/deck build series with all self milled/sun-dried/ on property lumber could push one of them to bite at the oppourtunity!

[@OGtalk_87]

What is the size of the step treads ?

[@TKCL]

10.5 inches x 36 inches, local code requires 10 minimum. Keep in mind some may require 11 inches, code changes everywhere.

[@emaildavidlehman]

Looking great so far!

[@TKCL]

Thank you
